PRESENTATION
Dear Customer
,
Thank y
ou for choosing a Husqvarna Rider. Husqvarna Riders are built to a unique design with a front-mounted cutting unit and a
patented articulated steering. Riders are designed for maximum efficiency even in small or confined areas. The closely grouped
controls and pedal-operated hydrostatic transmission also contribute to the performance of this machine.
This operator’s manual is a valuable document. By following its instructions (on operation, service, maintenance, etc.) you will
significantly extend the life of the machine and even its second-hand value.
When you sell your Rider, make sure you pass on the operator’s manual to the new owner.
A service journal accompanies the operator’s manual. Ensure that service and repair work is documented. A well-documented
service history reduces the costs of seasonal maintenance and influences the second-hand value of the machine. Bring the service
journal when bringing the machine to a workshop for a service.
Driving and transpor
t on public roads
Chec
k the relevant road traffic regulations before driving the machine on a public road. If transporting the machine on another
vehicle always use approved securing devices and make sure that the machine is securely held.
T
owing

our machine is equipped with a hydrostatic transmission you should only tow the machine over short distances and at a
low speed, otherwise there is a risk of damaging the transmission.
The transmission must be disengaged when towing, see instructions under the heading Bypass valves.
Use
This r
ide-on mower is designed to mow grass on open and level ground surfaces. In addition, there is a number of accessories
recommended by the manufacturer that broadens the application area. Please contact your dealer for more information about
which accessories are available. The machine may only be used with the equipment recommended by the manufacturer. All other
types of use are incorrect. Compliance with and strict adherence to the conditions of operation, service and repair as specified by
the manufacturer also constitute essential elements of the intended use.
This machine should be operated, serviced and repaired only by persons who are familiar with its particular characteristics and
who are acquainted with the relevant safety procedures.
Accident prevention regulations, all other generally recognised regulations on safety and occupational medicine, and all road traffic
regulations must be observed at all times.
Any arbitrary modifications carried out to this machine may relieve the manufacturer of liability for any resulting damage or injury.
Insure y
our Rider
Chec
k the insurance coverage for your new Rider.
• Contact your insurance company.
• You should have fully comprehensive insurance including: third party, fire, damage, theft and liability
IMPORTANT! The transmission warranty is only valid if front and rear wheel rotation speed has be checked in accordance with
the service schedule. Adjust if necessary according to the table values specified in the workshop manual. Performed by
authorized servicing dealer. The system will be damaged if this adjustment is not carried out.

Ignition ke
y
The ignition k
ey is used to turn the engine on and off together
with all electrical functions.
1 STOP - the machine is powered down
2 - Neutral
3 START - spring-back ignition position
Ignition ke
y check
•
Check the ignition key by starting and stopping the
engine. See instructions under the heading Starting and
stopping.
• The engine should start when the ignition key is turned to
START (3).
• The engine should stop immediately when the ignition key
is turned to STOP (1).
Saf
ety circuit
The machine has a saf
ety circuit that triggers whenever the
driver gets off the seat while the blades are engaged. The
safety circuit is also tripped when the parking brake has not
been applied and the driver rises from the seat.
Drive to the blades is stopped when the safety circuit is
tripped. There is a short delay to prevent stopping if the driver
bounces on the seat.
The engine can only be started when:
• The cutting deck is raised and the parking brake is
applied.
The engine should stop when:
• The cutting deck is lowered and the driver rises from the
seat.
• The cutting deck is in its raised position, the parking brake
is not applied and the driver rises from the seat.
Saf
ety circuit check
•
Check daily to ensure that the safety system works by
attempting to start the engine when one of the conditions
above is not met. Change the conditions and try again.
Speed limiter
The speed of the machine is steplessly regulated with tw
o
pedals. Pedal (1) is used to drive forwards, and pedal (2) to
drive backwards.
The machine is braked when the forward pedal is released.
The reverse pedal can also be used if additional braking
power is required.
Accelerator c
heck
•
Ensure the forward and reverse pedals can be operated
freely.
• Ensure the machine brakes when the forward pedal is
released.

WARNING! The inside of the muffler contain
chemicals that may be carcinogenic. Avoid
contact with these elements in the event of a
damaged muffler.
The muffler gets very hot during and after

running.
• Never allow children or other persons not trained in the
use of the machine to use or service it. Local laws may
regulate the age of the user.
• Electrical shocks can cause injuries. Do not touch cables
when the engine is running. Do not test the ignition
